the former home of the Gusts ana Lee fam
lies Of Virginia, and celebrated now, and
probably will be forever, as the burial place
for many soldiers who fell during the late
civil war. Of this large tract of land, pur-
chased by the Government, at a cost Of
$4,000, only about 200 acres are utilized
Us burial ground, and for United States
station, known as Fort Niger, the other 900
acres being uncared for, and running into
waste and gullies, except small portion,
which is covered with small houses, and
known as Freedman's Village. There are at
least 500 acres of this land uninhabited and

place could be more appropriate for such a
purpose.
